Hello!

Also you would like to get the stage2, stage1, *stage1.5 under boot/grub...
I think you should simply specify configure --prefix=/grub. After "make 
install" under "/grub/share/grub/i386-pc" (or any similar:-))) you would 
have the files, and you can copy it to /boot/grub.
I compiled it, and I made this too.:-))
